Billing Software in Uttar Pradesh for Hardware & Material Shops
Uttar Pradesh has more hardware and building material shops than any other state, and almost none of the software sold to them was written for the material trade. MaterialBill is used from Ghaziabad down to Gorakhpur, in Hindi throughout.
The material trade in Uttar Pradesh
UP is really several trades under one GST code. The NCR end — Ghaziabad, Noida, Meerut — supplies large sites and works on organised purchase orders, part payments and formal challans. The eastern end, around Varanasi, Prayagraj and Gorakhpur, is a retail counter trade where the same shop sells a bag of cement to a homeowner and ten tons of sariya to a contractor. A billing system that only handles one of those two patterns is no use in this state.
The specialist clusters add their own demands. Firozabad glass sells by the piece and by the box, Moradabad brass by weight, Agra stone by the square foot, and Kanpur hardware by whatever unit the item happens to come in. Shops that stock across clusters end up with four units on one invoice. MaterialBill was built around exactly that: kg, quintal, ton, bag, piece, box, foot, metre, CFT and litre are all first-class units, and each one carries its own GST rate.
Main trade centres
- Kanpur hardware market
- Ghaziabad and Noida steel and site supply

GST for a Uttar Pradesh dealer
| GST state code | 09 — the first two digits of every GSTIN registered in Uttar Pradesh |
| Department | UP Commercial Tax Department |
| Within Uttar Pradesh | CGST + SGST, applied line by line from each item's own rate |
| Outside Uttar Pradesh | IGST, switched automatically once the buyer's state is set |
| Common slabs | Cement 28% · TMT steel and most hardware 18% · sand and aggregate 5% |
MaterialBill keeps the GST rate on the item rather than on the bill, so a single invoice can carry cement at 28% and steel at 18% with Uttar Pradesh CGST and SGST worked out line by line, and IGST substituted the moment the buyer's GSTIN starts with something other than 09. Confirm the current slab with your CA. More on GST billing
